West End developments

The regeneration of Oxford’s West End is an ambitious project set to revitalise the western quarter of the city centre. The West End projects are part of an overarching vision for the city centre and are being managed in parallel by the Oxford Regeneration Partnership. A masterplan for Oxford Station was launched in July 2014, followed by a two-day public exhibition.

Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council have been working in partnership with the West End Steering Group (established 2006) on proposals for the West End for over a decade, recognising the need for coordination of development in the area. As construction on these major projects comes forward the two local authorities will continue to work closely with the Steering Group and developers to ensure that all work is being coordinated in such a way as to minimise disruption. At the same time, Oxfordshire County Council is reviewing and updating its transport strategy for the city centre, including the area around the Westgate Centre, Oxford Station, Oxpens, George Street, Magdalen Street and St Giles. Find out more.

Significant progress has already been achieved in the West End with the redevelopment of the Castle Quarter and Bonn Square, as well as improvements to Queen Street, New Inn Hall Street and Castle Mill Stream. The overall regeneration programme is expected to span a further decade and incorporate more than 30 individual sites and projects. These are ambitious plans that will not only revitalise the local area, creating new homes, leisure facilities and jobs, but will also transform Oxford's transport provision and underpin the city's future growth and prosperity. Some of the changes you'll start to see immediately, while others will take time. We will continue to keep you informed of the changes through this website, via our newsletter, and via our Twitter and Facebookaccounts.
